Shein prices HK IPO at HK$48.56, raising HK$13.2 billion
Shein-W (00625.HK) priced its Hong Kong IPO at HK$48.56 per share, raising HK$13.214 billion in net proceeds, with the public offering oversubscribed 5.63 times.
The online fashion retailer's international offering was oversubscribed 2.59 times. Retail applicants subscribing for 600 shares were guaranteed one board lot of 100 shares, while the success rate for a single lot stood at 18.42 percent.
Seven cornerstone investors — including Huang River under Tencent (00700.HK), Hillhouse Capital Management, Boyu and UBS Asset Management — subscribed for 61.89 million shares, representing 22.1 percent of the total offering. The lock-up commitment runs through Feb. 28, 2027.
Shein plans to globally offer 280 million shares, with the public offering accounting for 10 percent of the total. The offer price ranged from HK$47.6 to HK$49.5, and the final price landed at the midpoint of the indicative range. Shares are expected to begin trading Tuesday.
The cornerstone allocation of 22.1 percent provides a stable base of long-term holders, with the lock-up structure keeping 61.89 million shares off the market until February 2027. The 5.63x retail oversubscription and 2.59x international demand point to broad interest across both retail and institutional segments, though the one-lot success rate of 18.42 percent reflects the competitive nature of the allocation.
The HK$13.214 billion raise gives Shein substantial capital as it expands its global fast-fashion footprint. First-day trading on Tuesday will test whether the oversubscription translates into sustained demand, with the cornerstone lock-up expiry on Feb. 28, 2027 marking the next major supply event for the stock.
